Default Bikini bars anyone?

Anyone riding with these bars? Just wanted to get some feedback on them. Still stuck in my handlebar rut on which route to go.

I am having a tough time making a choice also.Our bars are 33 inches wide and the Bikinis are only 35 inches wide.Just seems like a lot of work and money for such a small change.Have you looked at the Klock Works Mentels?

+1 on the WildOne 518s. I took drag bars off my fatboy and put these chubbys on. I love mine. They really flow with the bike much better and very comfortable. I'm 6'2" and they are perfect. Wouldn't change these!

I ran them for a while. Very comfy for sure, I just like apes a bit better. I like them in the cold weather for circulation purposes over the apes.
